I thought this was pretty funny (and accurate)
If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock in 2001, it was in 2002 worth $49.00.
With Enron, you had $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.
With Worldcom, you had less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the BEER, NOT the stock) in 2001, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00.
Cheers,
